Re: Welcome!

Hi Ben,

after 10 years in the shop you will already know it: The company you work for does disgusting things among others. It harms relationsships and isolates people. It builds walls and lures people into them. When that doesn't suffice, brutal peer pressure does. Shoshana Zuboff or Cory Doctorow have details.

A word about me: I am self-employed working on a layperson installed and operated single user server software called https://seppo.social and have a heart for the indieweb, permacomputing and making convival tools useful for decades. Putting agency and responsibility into the hands of the participants. I once did a 5-min talk 'Dissolving GAFAM, one bit at a time' at the 35c3 https://media.ccc.de/v/35c3-9566-lightning_talks_day_2#t=3337

Not a year ago I found irc and this list deserted, the infrastructure (test suite) in ruin and the big players mute and unmotivated. Over time it became quite vivid, may it turn out beneficial for all.

That said, welcome to the list Ben.

/Marcus
